Sexually violent predators: out-of-county placement.

Existing law generally requires a sexually violent predator who is conditionally released to be placed in the county that was the person's county of domicile prior to the person's incarceration. Existing law provides for placement outside of the county of domicile if specified circumstances exist. Existing law specifies certain information to be considered in determining the county of domicile, and provides that if that information cannot be identified or verified, that the county of domicile is the county in which the person was arrested for the crime for which he or she was last incarcerated in the state prison or from which he or she was last returned from parole. This bill would require the court to consider additional factors when determining the county of placement that is not the county of domicile, including if and how long the person has previously resided or been employed in the county and if the person has next of kin in the county.
